Rubin,<br>I&#39;d like to thank you for the amount of help you&#39;ve given us. As you already know, one of the bigger challenges Zbridge faces is getting our name recognized. With so many brilliant projects coming out of Noisebridge, I was afraid that ours would get lost in the dust. You personally took it upon yourself to ensure that this wouldn&#39;t be the case, and I thank you for that.<br>

<br>I also appreciate the team environment you have created for us. As you already know, one of the best ways to bring a group together is to unite them against a common enemy. You have graciously thrown yourself upon the sword here – something that few people would choose to do.<br>

<br>Two of our key members will be out for the next couple of weeks. Since you focused so strongly on teamwork in your message (and your actions), I&#39;m sure you will agree that it would be better for us to postpone our demo, so that Zbridge may work as a team on this project. Given your agreeable nature, I&#39;m sure you will have no problem with this.<br>

<br>Finally, thank you in advance for the influx of gamers and programmers we will get on Saturday! You are of course welcome to join in the constructive fun. After all, isn&#39;t that what NB is all about?<br><br>Aditya Bhargava, Zbridge co-founder<br>

Computer games are what got me into programming. I was way into Doom and<br>
Commander Keen and crap, then I started playing with ZZT and Megazeux<br>
and their &quot;level editors&quot; that turned out to be game creation systems<br>
complete with their own scripting languages. Then I started learning C,<br>
and allegro for the graphics/sound/input/networking aspects, and soon<br>
replaced it with SDL. I learned graphics design, sound editing, some<br>
music editing, and web design for my games. I got playing with<br>
javascript and php and mysql databases and realized I could make money<br>
off of it, and I did other programming and security stuff as a result.<br>
I&#39;ve recently made some iphone and android games too.<br>
<br>
Computer games are awesome. In fact, is there anyone here that didn&#39;t<br>
start hacking as a result of computer games? I learned how to use BBS&#39;s<br>
to get games; I had to learn all about drivers to make them work; I<br>
learned how to use irc and usenet (and javascript, to get around stupid<br>
ad schemes on warez sites) to pirate games; I learned how to format my<br>
hard drive once I realized pirated games came with malware; I learned<br>
how to program to make my own games.<br>
<br>
Of course I eventually did other programming and hacking for other<br>
reasons, but computer games are where it&#39;s at. I rarely play games<br>
anymore, but starcraft 2 is sweet. Can&#39;t wait for the protoss and zerg<br>
campaigns to come out. Maybe I should check out the saturday night<br>
gaming at nb sometime.<br>
